N!ai, the story of a !Kung woman
Sign in to track this film in your collection or want list.
Told in her own words and songs, the film covers 27 years in the life of N!ai, a !Kung San woman from Namibia's Kalahari Desert. Film footage of N!ai's early years, when her small band still roamed freely as gatherers/hunters over 15,000 square miles of desert, contrasts sharply with her present and radically different life on a government-run reserve. A comprehensive and historical look at a traditional culture that is rapidly disappearing.
